The last photo above is of a magnificent Magnolia tree. The magnolia leaf is featured in many floral arrangements throughout the area. I remember buying fake Magnolia leaves in Illinois to make my apple cone decoration. We don't have to buy fake anymore! Virginia is where they keep them for real ;-)
In addition to the wonderful plants and gardens, are the animals. Here are two of them you see frequently in the historic district:
You can't go to Williamsburg and not eat at the Kings Arms. It's our all-time favorite restaurant there. They have a delicious chicken pot-pie only on the lunch menu. And then there are the fabulous peiod interpreters you meet along the way. We had an absolutely delightful conversation with this couple over lunch. Would it spoil the image if I told you they drove down from Maryland in their RV for the weekend?
And last but not least, a few additional photos. Colonial Williamsburg, one of my favorite places on earth!
Until next time, keep stitchin!

I might just have to post some Christmas Williamsburg photos on Rudy Day. Join me on April 25 and see!
ReplyDeleteI love Williamsburg so much myself! Now I want to go there this weekend - but I don't think I can. It is beautiful and peaceful. Great pictures!
ReplyDeleteI have always wanted to visit. Maybe now that hubby is retired we can plan to go. Thanks for the inspiration.
